About this project
What does GUI Compass add?
GUI Compass is a minimalistic configurable client-side mod which shows the direction and coordinates in the GUI with a compass in the inventory and bundles. By default the compass is positioned in the top left, but you can change that and the height in the config.
The format of what is visible on the screen can be changed via the 'guiCompassFormat' config value.
Default format: Direction: X, Y, ZYou may also be interested in GUI Clock.
All available config options:
guiCompassFormat default "FXYZ"
What of the GUI compass should be displayed. Default: [FXYZ]. F: facing (direction), X: x coord, Y: y coord (depth), Z: z coord.
mustHaveCompassInInventory default true
When enabled, will only show the GUI compass when a compass is present in the inventory.
compassPosition default "Left"
Where the compass is shown at the top of the screen.
compassHeightOffset default 5, min 0, max 3000
The vertical offset (y coord) for the Compass. This determines how far down the time should be on the screen. Can be changed to prevent GUIs from overlapping.

If the text displayed should have a shadow drawn below it.
RGB default "255,255,255"
The colour of the compass text, as red, green and blue values from 0 to 255.
